Zeal.

There is a suburban church, situated not
far from very attractive and fashionably
patronized Stun, which makes n practice,
each Easter Sunday, after the Sunday school
services, of distributing the greater part Of
the flowers that have served in the decoration
of the church among the poor children Of the
school This distribution is almost as popular
with the street children as is the Christmas
distribution Of gifts and confectionery.
Yesterday afternoon, after the mass Of the
children had been given few flowers, the
Sunday school superintendent saw two hood
,dmish small boys whom he did not recognize
standing near by very wistfully, caps in
hand.
"well, boys" said he cheerily, "what do
you wantF'
"S'm flowers, mister"
"Belong to the SCHOOL, / don't seem to
remember you"
"Oh, yes, SIR" said the bigger Of the two;
"don't you rememberl I'm the Teller that
run away from the Sunday school last New
Year'si"
"Indeedl And whit is the connection Of
your friend here with the schoolp
"Oh, he's the Gully that coaxed me to run
away"
The superintendent felt that such zeal
should not 20 unrewarded, and gave the boys
handful of bright flowers.-Boston Tran

LlBELlNG THE PRESS.
How Certain Editors Found Out a Ger
tain Quotation.

tain Quotation.
"Say." II was the snake editor who spake,
and he spake with the air of a man aweary Of
life, ~ don't know how to use concordance
anyhow. Where do you find this quotation
that goes on something about Winter linger-
ing in the lap Of springf"
An embarrassing silence followed the ques-
ton, and the album editor, feeling that all
eyes were turned on him, said he never heard
the quotation before, but 1t sounded as
though it might be from the Conventicles.
"rhe Con-who-ticlesl" asked the bewildered
snake editor.
"The nventicles--Solomons song, you
know" said the album editor 1--WE call them
the conventicles."
ooh, yes" the snake editor said, greatly re-
assured, ~ had forgotten you belonged to the
Church of England. But find it for me. I
want to use it in Chester county moccasin
item; I've got something here that will set
your teeth on edge"
The album editor took the Bible and tried
for the conventicles n while, and then gave it
up, remarking that the passage only occurred
in the revised version.
The commencement editor, who used to
read proof on The Chicago Times, said he had
read the revised Bible clear through, and was
positive the quotation wasn't from the Bible
at all.
The young man who does the book notices
said it was from Pope "That's what made
me think it was in the Bible" said the snake
editor; "but which pope was It'll There's
more'n hundred of 'em, isn't there"
The art editor, who had twice gone abroad
with Cooks excursions, said ho never saw
the quotation in any of the European
libraries, and the obituary editor said he
never ran across it in his reading. TWAS the
general opinion of the convention that the
remark was not quotation at all, but was
original with the snake editor. This compli-
ment the snake editor modestly, albeit rather
feebly, attempted to deny. ~ know" he said,
II have seen that sentence in print some
where"
"Here it Is" shouted the accident editor, ~
knew had seen it too, but for the life Of me
couldn't tell where Here it is"
And he held up u copy of The Cider Valley
Palladium and pointed to the local column:
"April days
@Cold nights 80 ,.-el.,
"Burn your rubbish. 'dtrf
"Dont change your nannels.
"Prime mess mackerel at Haddock's, {. [.
"Winter lingering in the lap of spring"
A good deal of quiet followed this revela-
ton. The snake editor was the first to speak.
"Well, he said, "that's it. / remember now
i was reading that paper yesterday, and l
must have seen it there. but was sure 1 had
read that very thing a thousand times"
And the commencement editor sat down
and wrote long and confusedly able article
pressons. "-Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle.

Dies MONIES, Ia, May 1.-THE at
torney general has officially advised
sheriffs and other State officers that
when engaged in enforcing the pro-
hibitory law they have the right-of-
way and are to pay no attention to in
reference by Federal authorities. The
case which occasioned the opinion was
one in Atlanta, where the sheriff, who
attempted TO confiscate the product of
a brewery, was ordered to stop by the
revenue collector, who claimed prior
right to the beer on the ground that it
had not paid the government tax.

Names of the Nobility.

Answering a question frequently
asked as to how the nobility are adj
dressed by their intimates and famil.
lars, Adam Badeau says that in the
family the peer Is generally addressed
by the name OF the peerage. Thus the
duke of Argyll would probably be
called by his wife argyll" and the
eldest son is familiarity addressed 10y
the second title, "Lorne." Even the
prince OF Wales is called by his broth
ers and sisters wales" The younger
children take the family name, not
that OF the peerage. You say Lord
Walter Campbell" not Lord Walter
Argyll" A peer signs with the name
OF his peerage-simply Argyll" never
adding the title. His wife writes
"Mary Argyll" The eldest son signs
"Lorne," not "John Campbell" his
real name. Indeed, the eldest son of
. duke or earl seldom hears Lis Chris
tian name. Under ordinary circum-
stances his wife would 1rite herself
"Louiss Lorne," but being a princess,
she drops ali family names, and signs
"kouise y !" Or simply "LsoHise."

ChaperOning Denounced.

SHupcTOuluS DcuOuuCeus
The st. Louis Republican objects to
the practice OF chaperor ing young
ladies, which has been imported with
other fashions from Europe, and has
it's say upon the subject in this vigor-
Gus western fashion: Th7 average
western American girl has not yet been
civilized up to those standards which
prevail along our well.bred eastern
coast. She has not been sophisticated
into condition wherein she must ad.
vertise her moral fragility in order to
be accepted among the elect. She is
pure not because opportunity has
been prevented, but because purity
has been her education and her life.
She has drawn her innocence from her
mothers breast, and she will instil it
into her own daughters in their turn.
Her own strength, not the vigilance OF
her guardians, is her protector. She
is her own best chaperon. All men
are not scoundrels, rogues and brutes,
and the western girl who cannot dis
tinguish between the safe man and the
unsafe one is q rare, infrequent pro-
duct of our savage states. The
chaperon is an indictment against the
men as well as against the women.
We know that n girl OF dignity and
self-respect can travel this continent
Ecross from Eastport to Los An
seles without other protection than
thatgiven out ofthe eadygallantry OF
every American gentleman whose loyal
service she may chancet to need. Queer.
ly enough, the further one comes from
the higher civilization OF the Atlantic
coast the more ready, the more court
eous, the more painstakinc is the care
given to womanhood by the tougher
and coarser men of the West. In
Paris and London, and MS far as the
gentlemen have been educated up to
European models in New York and
Boston, any woman alone in the
street after certain hours OF the day is
fair game for insult. In st. Louis, in
New Orleans, in Denver or in San
Francisco il needsa great deal more
grit than one could find among all the
llJle uhueS Ol hdludlltll put together
to interfere with girl who does not
invite and sanction the interference,
Perhaps a more significant exposition
OF the inherent difference between the
sections lies in the fact that q man
giving his seat to n woman in a New
York car is at once contemptuously
cataloGued rs q westerner. We have
yet to find that harm has come from
the free and unsentineled concourse CT
our young men and young women, ex-
cept where improper training has fit
ted the latter for victims. Our girls
respect themselves, and our boys re.
spect them. Neither thinks evil, and
the companionship graces one sex and
strengthens the other. A change of
the system which would imply an
implacable dstrust OF tn, honor OF
our boys and the virtue oi our girls
would be q misfortune which it is to
be hoped society will not wreak upon
the uD.utored West.

The Benefit of ClergNr

The meaning of the phrase "benefit
of the clergy" is not perhaps very gen.
orally understood. The custom had its
origin in those days of intellectual dark
ness when the state of letters was so
low that anyone found guilty in a court
of justice of crime which was punish
able with death If he could prove him
self able to read verse in Latin bible
was pardoned as being man of learn
ing, and therefore likely TO be useful to
the state; but if he could not read he
was sure to be without bene-
fit Of clergy" This privilege. it is said,
was granted to all oilenses, excepting
high treason and sacrilege. till after the
year 1850. At first il was extended not
only 10 the clergy, but to any person
who could read, who. however. had to
VOW that he would enter into holy or
ders. but with the increase of learning
this benefit Of clergy" was restricted
by several acts of parliament and was
finally abolished only so late as the reign

V0TE FmEH BOWS.

The DEMOCRAT is opposed to appro-
priaiing money ont OF TIE treasury Of
the state. gathered there by saxing the
people.to build wagon roads and bridges,
upon principl.. We arc not opposed
to it because these appropriations are
for E'stern Oregon, Sou.h-rn Oregon
or the Coast counties. The mounting
and whining Of Tho Oshoco ReVisc,
(which seems to never reach higher
plane than self-interest, that the DKx-
ocRAT would favor these appropriations
if they wete for some Improvement
about Albany is Characteristic Of that
paper. The appropriation Of money for
such purposes is, to say the least, very
bad md dangerous policy, and the DEM-
ocRAT condemned this kind OF legisla-
tion two years ago, when such appropri-
atioDs were made for the first time in
the history Of legislation in Oregon.
We take occasion to remind the Reviesr
that neither Albany nor Linn county
has ever received an appropriation fol
any improvement whatever. But on
the contrary the people Of Albany with
the true spirit Of manhood, has gone ir.
TO her own pockets and donated ovsl
100000 to develop her railroad facili.
ties, and it never entered her mind tc
ask the Legislature for assistance. The
war which the Reviet0 seems dstermin.
ed to make on Albany is without cause
or provocatIon, and that paper will
sometime regret il. AS all our readers
in Eastern Oregon know We are entire.
ly friendly to the development and
progresssof that part Of the state, the
Reviea0 to :ho contrary notwithstanding.

The Royal Baking Powder Declared Superior
10 all Others.

The fact that Royal Baking Powder is in s respects,
the best baking powder offered to the public has been
established beyond question.
Prof H. A. Mott, when employed by the u s. Govern
ment anayze the various baking powders of the market
to determine which the best and most economical after
extended investigations reported in favor of the Royal
and it was adopted for government nse
Prof Mott has continued his examinations of baking
powders sold at the present day. and ams it his
deliberate Judgment arrived at after most thorough research
and careful examination Of the principal brands Of the
market that the Royal Is undoubtedly the purest and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public Prof. Mott in
his recent report saysi
"The Royal Baking Powder Is absolutely pure, for
have found in many tests made both for that company
and the u s. Government
"I viii go still further and state that because of the
facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure
of tartar and for other dependent upon the
proper proportions Of the same and the method Of prep

purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the
